(Answer) (Category) Discworld Faq-O-Matic : (Category) Starting Out :
How long can I attack this training dummy? And is there any point to it?
You can attack the training dummy for as long as you like, though you will find that after a while you will cease to gain any noteworthy advancement from it. At regular intervals Greg will drag you out of the combat room to allow other people in, but if there are no other trainees you can simply ask Greg to let you back in.

Sparring with the dummy will provide you with some basic skill in several combat techniques. While it is not necessary in order to enter the Discworld, it does make your first steps outside of the Newbie Area a bit easier.
